off the subject of bikes vs cars. my advice is get somethin practical to drive. i had a dodge ram 360ci when i was 16, loud pipes, ate tires, ate gas, looked slick, got me tickets.... yes it was fun, but it was costly, and it eventually got sold for a high mpg vehicle im to proud to name ( okay, okay it was a 89 FORD PROBE and i could drive for a month on 1 tank of gas :mrgreen: ) i missed the truck the whole time i wasnt behind the wheel of it, then i got married and got the truck i couldnt afford all over again, same year, same color, same drivetrain, same gasguzzler, 2 years later i sold it and often wonder why i didnt learn the first time.
But you dont learn unless you put yourself in a situation to learn, good luck to ya and hope it works out for ya.
P.S. i miss the Ford Probe too.
